Thyroid FNA and the Bethesda System: What possibilities are there to perform molecular tests?

In 2017 the second edition of The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) was released. The new version incorporated the re-classification done by the WHO of some thyroid papillary carcinomas into the NIFTP (noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features), that has implications for the risk of malignancy and for the diagnostic criteria. Moreover, new management options concerning molecular test were introduced for some diagnostic categories. This webinar will concentrate in the new updates (as in the second edition) of TBSRTC concerning the diagnostic categories and when and how apply molecular test to cytological specimens. Different possibilities available on the marker will be analyzed and compared with test that can be performed in house.

FNA in multidisciplinary approach of lymphoma diagnostics

The role of fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in primary diagnostic of lymphoma is not well established and also not accepted in many communities. At the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana FNA is part of a multidisciplinary approach where the results of cytology, flow cytometry, histology and molecular data are revived and summarized at a multidisciplinary meeting.

Next Generation Global Pathology: Using Implementation Science to Improve Breast Care in Tanzania
Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women in Tanzania. While basic diagnostic pathology services exist at select zonal and national referrals hospitals, there are numerous barriers to providing optimal cancer diagnostics. This talk discusses the urgent need for interventions informed by implementation science frameworks that effectively target barriers to efficient and accurate diagnosis for breast cancer patients in Tanzania.

Approach to Lymph Node Cytology.
This case-based discussion is on an approach to lymph node cytology. A broad approach and menu of differential diagnoses will be provided. The discussion focuses primarily on morphologic features but also highlights salient points in clinicopathologic correlation and the judicious application of ancillary tests to work through cases in a practical manner. Specific pitfalls are illustrated, including false negative, false positive and tricky mimics.
